HANLEY BACK.
The Crazy Youth, After His
Wanderings, is Again
In Jail.

hnSt CNCnfuS, oonCo SOiC, VI
Prairie township, sent a messenger to
Sedalia to notify the sheriff that
William Hanley, who recently sent up
to the St. Joseph lunatic asylum by
the county conrt, and who escaped
therefrom a couple of weeks ago,
could be found at his old home, about
seven miles southwest of Sedalia. The
young man has been back three or
four days, and yesterday after he had
given his mother a severe whipping,
he turned mis- attention to a couple
of small children in the family, whom
he took to a pond with the intention
of drowning. For some reason, not
easily explained, he did not make way
with the innocents.
Deputy-sheriff Kemp went down to
the Hanly farm, this morning, and
found his crazy boy, out in the past
ure, barefooted, but otherwise decently
clad. The officer accosted Hanley,
and seeing the necessity of using
strategy, hired the young man, who
was averse to coming to Sedalia, on
account of his fear of the police and
sherifs,t to drive buggy for him at
good sum per month.
The crazy youth was an incessant
talker on the way back to Sedslia
with Kemp, and didn't seem to recog-
nize his surroundings. He said he
got out of the asylum through the
assistance of a guard, but, of course,
no dependence is to be placed on this
statement. After he escaped he
worked for farmers here and there
and finally drifted back to his old
home.
When the officer and his charge ar
rived at the entrance to the jail on
Lamine stree, Ramp induced Hanley
to 60 into the reception room and
wait until he should put the horse and
buggy away. When Kemp returned
he persuaded Hanley that the police
were on his track, and thus the boy
was taken into the jail proper. AS
soon as Hanley saw the cage and the
surroundings he remarked: 81 know'd
you fellers'd keep on till you got me
back again ]"
Hanley will be sent back to the
asylum, but whether at the expense of
the county, or of the asylum officials is
not clear. He is constructively an In. |
mate of the St. Joseph institution and
its managers are responsible for him
Deputy-sheriff Bowers telegraphed
this noon to the st. Joseph asylum
in regard to Hanley being |
found. He expects an answer this
afternoon. He says the asylum peo-
pie will be responsible for taking
Hanley back, and if they do not send
. man for him, he will have the youth
AIKEN back at the asylum's expense.
Assaulted BY ROughs.
Last night about twelve o'clock,
Jeff D. Range, a barber on Ohio
street, accompanied his cousin, Miss
lizzie Borders, of Kansas City, and a
ady friend to the park. After en-
Dying the music, the young folks
want to the residence of the friend
md left her there. Then Range and
Miss Borders proceeded eastward on
Broadway to their own home at 62S
East Twelfth. When they came
o the low place, west of
Range was suddenly
confronted with pistol in the hand
# some fellow at the side of the walk,
Who said, drop her, partner !" The
,irl was terrified and pulled away
rom her escort, and then the stranger
commanded Range to make tracks.
There were two ruffians, one at each
ide of the walk. Range got out into
he street and stopped awhile. His
ady friend had partially sunk down
o the ground and the two fellows
Vere close by. She screamed as loud
s she could, and Range started back
oward her. The fellow with the
'istol ordered him to halt, and then
red shot at him. The barber ran
own the street to Jackson's and en-.
Favored to arouse them. Not sue
eeding. he ran down to the police
tation and raised an alarm.
Officer Barnett and he jumped into
Dan Strader's hack and proceeded out
)hio street, as far as Broadway,
here they found Miss Borders and a
Dung man named Lower, who had
ccidentally met the young lady and
n her request, accorded protection.
1t seems that the rascals after
